The latest issue of WSA Magazine is now available
04/06/2018
This issue leads with an article that explores how advances in printed electronics are allowing brands to make clothing even smarter.
Our other lead feature takes a look at the growing popularity of recycled down, which some see as a rare example of upcycling a post-consumer item into something useful and needed.
This issue’s Newcomers feature looks ahead to the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia (June 14-July 15), bringing a round-up of some of the innovations that will be on show during the tournament. Kits, boots, goalkeeper gloves and the official match ball all get a mention.
In our Rise to the Challenge feature, we report from the demo day for Fibersort, a new sorting technology that could make it easier to keep post-consumer textiles out of landfill.
Other articles in this issue include a detailed look at the challenges facing the plastics industry and an update on the latest advances in cooling technology.
We also hear why the performance qualities of Lenzing’s Tencel fibre have been enough to convince wool footwear brand Allbirds to take a step away from its favoured material.
The latest industry figure to feature in our Game Changers section is Michel Chtepa, managing director of Seaqual 4U, a company that wants to inspire the textile industry to change how it thinks about waste.
